The Sick Girl's Thrifty Whole Foods Adventure

Whole Foods on South Street.

I thought fresh air would make the sickness a little tolerable.
Except I sneezed every few minutes on the thirty minute bus ride to Circle Thrift. It's horrid, especially on crowded public transportation. Surely people were tired of blessing me and wishing that I stayed home piled in blankets. I wished to be.
But alas, I headed to the thrift shop first, hoping that forty dollars would get me a nice table for my studio books or at least a nice carpet for my tush to rest on. Found nothing to my liking unfortunately. In fact, there are so many great objects in the streets these days. Cannot believe how many tables or bookshelves were just on the sidelines ready to be trashed. But I don't have a car or know anyone so I'm stuck staring at these treasures, wishing to embody Arnold Schwartznegger or some lady equivalent.
I did, however, find two cute dresses and flats. No tawdry romance novels. Boo. The saleslady kindly snipped a dollar off. So I left happy.

$5 each for a Forever 21 ankle length boho dress & a H&M black & white cassette tape retro jumper dress! Which should be the New York outfit for Saturday?

$4 Bamboo vegan flats. Any man made 8 1/2 shoe brings me joy.

At cheery Whole Foods lies the rest of my adventure and thankfully, I didn't cough or sneeze at all.
That is, until the bus ride back home.
Charlie Brown muttered "good grief" inside my head throughout the much unneeded fits. Grr.
